If we use the Google RSS feed to take the weather data do we need to show the google trademark on our site?
It will be really helpful if I get reply immediately?
Thanks,
Shriya

the weather Data is openly provided by Google and therefore we can us it for free.
I don't know whether there is any document out there describing how to use the API, just use it

Hi,
I found this very interresting topic while googling for a solution to have a dynamic weather forecast solution in a web app.
I have adapted the principle to a ruby system fetching and caching the results of the query, then parsing it with XMLSimple.
It worked really well, I just had time to run a few tests before everything got messed up... queries in my browser such as
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=geneva,switzerland give me no error, but fetching the datas from my program, with the same queries return something like this:
| XML: |
<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><xml_api_reply version=\"1\"><weather module_id=\"0\" tab_id=\"0\"><problem_cause data=\"\"/></weather></xml_api_reply> |
I did not find any information on the usage of the weather API, so my feeling is that google doesn't allow such queries ... does anyone use this service ? I would love to "just use it" but I'm sure the google people are just smarter than me....
regards
julien

wow just 2 days ? I felt like these google weather tricks would just bring me troubles, and as I'm very bored today, I played around with the weather.com services...
http://www.weather.com/services/xmloap.html
not so easy to use as the google one, but it gives more complete results... well if the google weather gives you problems you can try...

No, that's the "not so easy part", the queries must be made with a specific city ID, so you must fetch the city ID from a given city.
I did not find a city database for weather.com, so I populated the maxmind city database http://www.maxmind.com/app/city then I internally calculate the nearest city to query weather.com (it's all made very easy with some ruby on rails plugins...)

|

Hello Plusminus I was trying to make the example work but I have a problem when I tried to connect to the "service"
http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=
| Java: | String cityParamString = ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_input))
.getText().toString();
String queryString = "http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather="
+ cityParamString;
/* Replace blanks with HTML-Equivalent. */
url = new URL(queryString.replace(" ", "%20"));
/* Get a SAXParser from the SAXPArserFactory. */
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser sp = spf.newSAXParser();
/* Get the XMLReader of the SAXParser we created. */
XMLReader xr = sp.getXMLReader();
/*
* Create a new ContentHandler and apply it to the
* XML-Reader
*/
GoogleWeatherHandler gwh = new GoogleWeatherHandler();
xr.setContentHandler(gwh);
InputStream input = url.openStream(); ---> EXCEPTION OCCURS HERE
/* Parse the xml-data our URL-call returned. */
xr.parse(new InputSource(input)); |
I debugged the code and when the line InputStream input = url.openStream(); executes in throws and exception. The monitor showed me this
| Java: | 10-21 23:00:19.182: ERROR/WeatherForcaster(169): java.net.SocketException: [b][u]unknown error[/u][/b]

10-21 23:00:19.182: ERROR/WeatherForcaster(169): at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:664) |
I tested the connectivity with the emulator but I can perform any search with it so I think that the internet conection must be working well so that leaves me without a clue about what must be wrong. By the way Im running the example with SDK 1.0 I hope that helps.
Any suggestion will be welcome and thanks for making available all these examples.
